trove-newspaper-issues

<p>This dataset contains information about the published issues of newspapers digitised and made available through Trove. The data was harvested from the Trove API, using <a href="https://glam-workbench.net/trove-newspapers/harvest_newspaper_issues/">this notebook in the GLAM Workbench</a>.</p> <p>There are two data files:</p> <ul> <li><code>newspaper_issues_totals_by_year.csv</code> &ndash; the total number of newspaper issues per year for each digitised newspaper</li> <li><code>newspaper_issues.csv</code> &ndash; a complete list of newspaper issues available from Trove</li> </ul> <h2>newspaper_issues_totals_by_year.csv</h2> <p>The dataset contains the following columns:</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Column</strong></td> <td><strong>Contents</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>title</code></td> <td>newspaper title</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>title_id</code></td> <td>newspaper id</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>state</code></td> <td>place of publication</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>year</code></td> <td>year published</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>issues</code></td> <td>number of issues</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h2>newspaper_issues.csv</h2> <p>The dataset contains the following columns:</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Column</strong></td> <td><strong>Contents</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>title</code></td> <td>newspaper title</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>title_id</code></td> <td>newspaper id</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>state</code></td> <td>place of publication</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>issue_id</code></td> <td>issue identifier</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>issue_date</code></td> <td>date of publication (YYYY-MM-DD)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>To keep the file size down, I haven't included an <code>issue_url</code> in this dataset, but these are easily generated from the <code>issue_id</code>. Just add the <code>issue_id</code> to the end of <code>http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-issue</code>. For example: <a href="http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-issue495426">http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-issue495426</a>. Note that when you follow an issue url, you actually get redirected to the url of the first page in the issue.</p>
